Transmitter building
This was also originally the studio building for both AM and FM stations. The AM came on the air in 1958; the FM signed on in 1962. The stations simulcast for the next several years and due to the similarity in the digits of their frequencies (1290 and 102.9) the stations together were branded as "Radio 129". This humble little radio station was the launching pad for the career of Ann Arbor native John "Records" Landecker, who started with a Dictaphone, landed his first radio job here, then passed through Flint and Lansing on his way to Chicago's powerhouse WLS, where he became a radio legend and 2020's inductee into the NAB's Broadcasting Hall of Fame.
